fell from my tree yesterday
and new green ones are

ripening as the
tree bursts forth in new blossoms
for more summer fruit

Rusty relaxes
in his chair while Molly plays
by herself this week

missing Aloha ...
but she encountered a RACCOON!!!
I missed the photo

opportunity
because I was without my
camera that day

yet this picture found
on the Internet looks much
like the one she met

considerably
smaller than the actual
GIGANTIC raccoon

Molly discovered
lurking near the little blue
house just down the street
